I spent way too much time this last week tracking down errors due to a
VM with an antique kernel module that didn't support connection tracking.
This commit adds clear error messages that would have made the problem
obvious.

This commit adds support for the OpenFlow actions generic encap
and decap (as specified in ONF EXT-382) to the OVS control plane.
CLI syntax for encap action with properties:
encap(<header>)
encap(<header>(<prop>=<value>,<tlv>(<class>,<type>,<value>),...))
For example:
encap(ethernet)
encap(nsh(md_type=1))
encap(nsh(md_type=2,tlv(0x1000,10,0x12345678),tlv(0x2000,20,0xfedcba9876543210)))
CLI syntax for decap action:
decap()
decap(packet_type(ns=<pt_ns>,type=<pt_type>))
For example:
decap()
decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0xfffe))
decap(packet_type(ns=1,type=0x894f))
The first header supported for encap and decap is "ethernet" to convert
packets between packet_type (1,Ethertype) and (0,0).
This commit also implements a skeleton for the translation of generic
encap and decap actions in ofproto-dpif and adds support to encap and
decap an Ethernet header.
In general translation of encap commits pending actions and then rewrites
struct flow in accordance with the new packet type and header. In the
case of encap(ethernet) it suffices to change the packet type from
(1, Ethertype) to (0,0) and set the dl_type accordingly. A new
pending_encap flag in xlate ctx is set to mark that an corresponding
datapath encap action must be triggered at the next commit. In the
case of encap(ethernet) ofproto generetas a push_eth action.
The general case for translation of decap() is to emit a datapath action
to decap the current outermost header and then recirculate the packet
to reparse the inner headers. In the special case of an Ethernet packet,
decap() just changes the packet type from (0,0) to (1, dl_type) without
a need to recirculate. The emission of the pop_eth action for the
datapath is postponed to the next commit.
Hence encap(ethernet) and decap() on an Ethernet packet are OF octions
that only incur a cost in the dataplane when a modifed packet is
actually committed, e.g. because it is sent out. They can freely be
used for normalizing the packet type in the OF pipeline without
degrading performance.

This patch decodes pipeline fields from a packet-out message, and populates
the pipeline fields into datapath. Error OFPERR_OFPBRC_PIPELINE_FIELDS_ONLY
is returned if the match field of a packet-out messages contains any
non pipeline fields. Currently, the supported pipeline fields
are as following.
* metadata fields:
- in_port, in_port_oxm
* tunnel fields:
- tun_id, tun_src, tun_dst, tun_ipv6_src, tun_ipv6_dst
- tun_gbp_id, tun_gpb_flags, tun_flags
- tun_metadata0 - tun_metadata63
* register fields:
- metadata
- reg0 - reg-15, xreg0 - xreg7, xxreg0 - xxreg3

Currently, a controller may potentially trigger a segmentation fault if it
accidentally removes a TLV mapping that is still used by an active flow.
To resolve this issue, in this patch, we maintain reference counting for each
dynamically allocated variable length mf_fields, so that vswitchd can use this
information to properly remove a TLV mapping, and to return an error if the
controller tries to remove a TLV mapping that is still used by any active flow.
To keep track of the usage of tun_metadata for each flow, two 'uint64_t'
bitmaps are introduce for the flow match and flow action respectively. We use
'uint64_t' as a bitmap since the 64 geneve TLV tunnel metadata are the only
available variable length mf_fields for now. We shall adopt general bitmap when
more variable length mf_fields are introduced. The bitmaps are configured
during the flow decoding process, and vswitchd use these bitmaps to increase or
decrease the ref counting when the flow is created or deleted.

Previously, if a flow action that involves a tunnel metadata meta-flow
field is dumped from vswitchd, the replied field length in the OXM header
is filled with the maximum possible field length, instead of the length
configured in the tunnel TLV mapping table. To solve this issue, this patch
introduces the following changes.
In order to maintain the correct length of variable length mf_fields (i.e.
tun_metadata), this patch creates a per-switch based map (struct vl_mff_map)
that hosts the variable length mf_fields. This map is updated when a
controller adds/deletes tlv-mapping entries to/from a switch. Although the
per-swtch based vl_mff_map only hosts tun_metadata for now, it is able to
support new variable length mf_fields in the future.
With this commit, when a switch decodes a flow action with mf_field, the switch
firstly looks up the global mf_fields map to identify the mf_field type. For
the variable length mf_fields, the switch uses the vl_mff_map to get the
configured mf_field entries. By lookig up vl_mff_map, the switch can check
if the added flow action access beyond the configured size of a variable
length mf_field, and the switch reports an ofperr if the controller adds a flow
with unmapped variable length mf_field. Later on, when a controller request
flows from the switch, with the per-switch based mf_fields, the switch will
encode the OXM header with correct length for variable length mf_fields.
To use the vl_mff_map for decoding flow actions, extract-ofp-actions is
updated to pass the vl_mff_map to the required action decoding functions.
Also, a new error code is introduced to identify a flow with an invalid
variable length mf_field. Moreover, a testcase is added to prevent future
regressions.
Committer notes:
- Factor out common code
- Style fixups
- Rename OFPERR_NXFMFC_INVALID_VL_MFF -> OFPERR_NXFMFC_INVALID_TLV_FIELD

It is meaningful for user to check the stats of IPFIX.
Using IPFIX stats, user can know how much flows the system
can support. It is also can be used for performance check
of IPFIX.
IPFIX stats is added for per IPFIX exporter. If bridge IPFIX is
enabled on the bridge, the whole bridge will have one exporter.
For flow IPFIX, the system keeps per id (column in
Flow_Sample_Collector_Set) per exporter.
1) Add 'ovs-ofctl dump-ipfix-bridge SWITCH' to export IPFIX stats of
the bridge which enable bridge IPFIX. The output format:
NXST_IPFIX_BRIDGE reply (xid=0x2):
bridge ipfix: flows=0, current flows=0, sampled pkts=0, \
ipv4 ok=0, ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
2) Add 'ovs-ofctl dump-ipfix-flow SWITCH' to export IPFIX stats of
the bridge which enable flow IPFIX. The output format:
NXST_IPFIX_FLOW reply (xid=0x2): 2 ids
id 1: flows=4, current flows=4, sampled pkts=14, ipv4 ok=13, \
ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
id 2: flows=0, current flows=0, sampled pkts=0, ipv4 ok=0, \
ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
flows: the number of total flow records, including those exported.
current flows: the number of current flow records cached.
sampled pkts: Successfully sampled packet count.
ipv4 ok: successfully sampled IPv4 flow packet count.
ipv6 ok: Successfully sampled IPv6 flow packet count.
tx pkts: the count of IPFIX exported packets sent to the collector(s).
pkts errs: count of packets failed when sampling, maybe not supported or other error.
ipv4 errs: Count of IPV4 flow packet in the error packets.
ipv6 errs: Count of IPV6 flow packet in the error packets.
tx errs: the count of IPFIX exported packets failed when sending to the collector(s).
